| How
does the ITS work? We aim to get the scheme right for you and that takes effective communication in understanding what real experience you have and what experience / additional training you will need to attain a nationally recognised qualification. A face to face meeting will ascertain what we can offer and realistically challenge you with - we prepare and present a draft PTP in relation to your experience, aspirations and length of time you wish to stay in training. Each ITS student will have different experiences, needs and aspirations that’s why our ITS students receive tailored made PTP’s The key areas of the PTP are; Training course schedule Personal experience / consolidation schedule Work experience schedule Skills health check schedule Work experience schedule Assessment course schedule Once we establish and agree a PTP You will receive a confirmation, training contract and welcome pack containing all the necessary information you will need to start and complete your training scheme. The scheme we offer stretches from 3 to 6 months. The length of time required will depend upon your tailored PTP we guarantee quality training and experience but we can not guarantee you will pass formal assessments that part we leave for you to achieve, but there is no shortage of advice , support and most of all mentoring when you need it. Our winter programme is 3 months and the summer programme is from 4 to 6 months. |

| What
we don’t offer! Unlike other schemes out-there we don’t provide accommodation and food as part of the course costs, you need to move in to the local area, but we do provide accommodation contacts at very reasonable rates. Scheme registration fees for the home nation boards ML and SPA awards are met fully by the ITS student however, we will advise you on how to register. Personal equipment is something you will need to bring with you however; we do supply lots of technical kit for you to borrow. What experience do I need? You can start with having no experience of walking or climbing to having experienced a lot, remember each ITS student has their own tailored PTP however, our ITS is suited to those individuals who have some experience of mountains. So what will it cost me? Anywhere between £4000 and £6000 it depends on your PTP some people may only require 4 months and others may require the whole 6 months. |
